The 2024 Olympics saw the debut of breakdancing, a long-awaited addition that brought a mix of excitement and humor to the global stage. Among the standout moments was Australia’s Raygun’s routine, which quickly went viral after a spirited battle against USA’s Logistx. The viral sensation sparked conversations, but it also brought some light-hearted amusement to the sport’s debut, marking it as a memorable, if not slightly humorous, entry into the Olympic lineup.
Despite its impact, breakdancing will not be included in the 2028 Los Angeles Games. However, Nike is keeping the spirit of the sport alive with new releases of the Nike Jam, their debut breakdancing sneaker. The next colorway to hit the shelves is a Michigan-friendly edition, arriving just in time for the holiday season. This release features a striking combination of White, Midnight Navy, and University Gold, paying homage to the iconic colors associated with the University of Michigan.
The Nike Jam “Michigan” edition showcases the sneaker’s dynamic design, built for both performance and style. The upper is crafted with a mix of mesh and suede, providing breathability and durability, essential for the intense movements of breakdancing. The bold Midnight Navy and University Gold accents add a vibrant contrast to the white base, making this sneaker not only a functional piece but also a statement on the dance floor.
Scheduled for a September 20, 2024 release, the Nike Jam “Michigan” will be available at select Nike Sportswear retailers, both in-store and online, including Nike.com. The sneaker will be offered in men’s sizing with a retail price tag set at $120 USD.
Whether you’re a fan of the sport or just love a stylish pair of kicks, this edition of the Nike Jam is sure to turn heads.
